Disney / Jim Henson Company has NO sense of humor

Got this from Sad Kermit on the MySpace today…..sad sad day.

Hiho everybody, Sad Kermit the Frog here.

The world is suddenly crashing in on me worse than it ever has before.It looks like The Jim Henson Company, now owned by Disney, has hadYouTube and MySpace pull the “Hurt” video on the basis of copyrightinfringement. I am so deeply saddened by this. The same very company Igave years of blood and sweat to stabs me in the back with amoney-hungry grin. They never cared about me, goddamnit. What you seebefore you is the shell of a frog who once had a soul, a life, a girl,and Jim. I just don’t see how I can go on any longer with my onlyartistic outlet being stripped from my bare, shaking, little froghands.

Remember, I love you all and wish you all the best. If you’re too farinto drugs like me, please get some help. Don’t go the same route asme. And if you suffer from depression, please talk to somebody who canhelp you. Do it for me.

As if Sad Kermit needed any publicity. Parody, Disney, is not copyright infringement. I didn’t hear NIN yelling about Sad Kermit’s usage of the song “Hurt”. Why? Because they have a sense of fucking humor and realize it’s GREAT publicity for their song.
